LILIUM. (LiUes.) 
Culture Out of Doors. — T he Lily in its native habitat, is found growing amongst brushwood, long grass, 
on the margins of plantations, or in ravines, 3cc., and always in soil which is sweet and well drained ; so that in 
choosing a situation for planting these, perfect drainage should be attended to. The borders of Rhododendron 
and Aplea beds are found admirably suited for lily culture ; they also do well amongst dwarf shrubs, or 
intermingled with herbaceous plants, and in the proximity of trees which give shelter from the sun’s rays after 
mid-day. We have seen Lilium auratum alternated with Roses, in the borders of Rhododendron beds, the stems 
of the lilies in some cases measuring 3 to 4 inches in circumference, and attaining a height of ii feet, sur- 
mounted with from 50 to 100 blossoms. In preparing ground for r.ilies, loosen the soil to a depth of several 
feet to secure the requisite drainage, intermixing fresh loam, peat, and coarse sand, or leaf soil instead of peat, 
care being taken that the soil is as free as possible from insect life, and the compost of such a character as not to 
cling to the bulb. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 6 inches, and if all things are equal they need not be disturbed 
for years. The bog or swamp-loving Lilies, Superbnm, Canadense, and the varieties of Pardalinum succeed 
best in a moist peaty soil. Rockwork and artificial mounds are admirable for lilies, there being a choice of aspects 
and drainage — thus the bog-loving lilies may be planted at the bottom of the rockwork or mound in sandy peat. 
Culture In-doors. — T he Lilywhen grown in pots docs best in a compost of fibry loam and peat, with plenty 
of sand, or leaf soil and loam with sand, the top of the bulb covered at least two inches ; the pots plunged in ashes 
out of doors, as recommended in the culture of the Hyacinth, and there allowed to remain till the plants spear 
through the ashes, or, better still, till the flower buds are formed, before removing to the conservatory, 
corridor, or sitting-room . While the Lily is growing, a situation should be selected where the sun’s rays do not 
fall upon the plants after mid-day. Lilies grown in pots should have clear liauid inanure. twice a week, hut 
both the drainage of the pots and the plunging ground must be perfect and the soil kept sweet. Superbum, 
Canadense, and the varieties of Pardalinum, succeed best in moist sandy peat. 
The Lily is a matchless plant for indoor decoration. All the varieties do well under glass. The magnificent 
Neilghcrrense, so admirably figured in the coloured plate of The Gardeners* Chronicle, and Wallichianum are 
purely greenhouse plants. 
We have arranged the Lilies in accordance with Mr. Baker’s classification, which is a natural grouping based 
on the shape of the flower ; these groupings with a few exceptions, represent also the order of flowering. 
If purchasers will therefore select from each group, they will secure both diversity of form and succession of bloom.
